    If you any time in the past tried to update your hardware drivers on a laptop, you probably know what problem I have.

    Simply downloading drivers for my GPU from Nvidia site lead nowhere and the isntallation outright refused me. Using their tool to auto-detect hardware refused me as well, because apparently manufacturer requested that he and only he can give me what I need.

    Trip to Acer webpages was even more frustrating. There was no single driver after 2009, which is the one I am using now. I wanted to ask them, but the form that one needs to fill is so needlessly complicated, that I feel like it is my duty as a user to ignore it.

    So what better place to ask than here?

    tl;dr?
    Where can I find new drivers for my Acer Aspire 5935G laptop? Mostly GPU drivers, but I would also welcome new webcam drivers. The current ones sometimes cause upside down image. And yes, I know which one of the two possible brands I have.

    Get webcam drivers from another, newer machine and get the latest OEM drivers from laptopvideo2go.com

    That's not desktop, not mobile, but OEM drivers.

    That or buy an MXM-A HD6770M and go ATI instead, get 3x the performance, and oh look there is one going cheap in the members market atm :p
